Does this persist after refreshing the browser or restarting the container? Can you access http://localhost:6080/vnc.html or vnc://localhost:5900 |
|
Same issue |
restart container helps. works for me now. |
|
I'm closing this as a known issue until we are able to reproduce and fix on our end |
|
From #48 here's the console error message prior to the restart: |

On Ubuntu 24.10 running KDE
and the web app in your docker container just tries to connect but doesn't do anything:
The weird thing is that if I run the agent, it seems it can see it. It even shows a screenshot:
Eventually (minutes later) I get the standard FAILED to connect to server noVNC from other people.
Inside the docker container:

22/10/2024 22:45:15 ***************************************
22/10/2024 22:45:15 *** XOpenDisplay failed (-forever)
*** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: "-forever", it cannot continue.
*** There may be "Xlib:" error messages above with details about the failure.
Some tips and guidelines:
** An X server (the one you wish to view) must be running before x11vnc is
started: x11vnc does not start the X server. (however, see the -create
option if that is what you really want).
** You must use -display <disp>, -OR- set and export your $DISPLAY
environment variable to refer to the display of the desired X server.
- Usually the display is simply ":0" (in fact x11vnc uses this if you forget
to specify it), but in some multi-user situations it could be ":1", ":2",
or even ":137". Ask your administrator or a guru if you are having
difficulty determining what your X DISPLAY is.
** Next, you need to have sufficient permissions (Xauthority)
to connect to the X DISPLAY. Here are some Tips:
- Often, you just need to run x11vnc as the user logged into the X session.
So make sure to be that user when you type x11vnc.
- Being root is usually not enough because the incorrect MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE
file may be accessed. The cookie file contains the secret key that
allows x11vnc to connect to the desired X DISPLAY.
- You can explicitly indicate which MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file should be used
by the -auth option, e.g.:
x11vnc -auth /home/someuser/.Xauthority -display :0
x11vnc -auth /tmp/.gdmzndVlR -display :0
you must have read permission for the auth file.
See also '-auth guess' and '-findauth' discussed below.
** If NO ONE is logged into an X session yet, but there is a greeter login
program like "gdm", "kdm", "xdm", or "dtlogin" running, you will need
to find and use the raw display manager MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file.
Some examples for various display managers:
gdm: -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth
-auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth
kdm: -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-crWk72
-auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-crWk72
xdm: -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-XQvaJk
dtlogin: -auth /var/dt/A:0-UgaaXa
Sometimes the command "ps wwwwaux | grep auth" can reveal the file location.
Starting with x11vnc 0.9.9 you can have it try to guess by using:
-auth guess
(see also the x11vnc -findauth option.)
Only root will have read permission for the file, and so x11vnc must be run
as root (or copy it). The random characters in the filenames will of course
change and the directory the cookie file resides in is system dependent.

Can you pull the latest container and tell me if you see any logs from the docker execution? 0cd8e73 adds exception logging for x11vnc and automatic restart - specifically interested in logging that starts with |

Ran into the same issue with computer-use-demo-latest (computer-use-demo-a306792). Restarting the docker service or container did not help, but this worked for me: TL;DRI killed the Longer version:Start docker container. Same as demo docs, but with added WIDTH and HEIGHT env variables.
